Stories from real people who are blending the outdoors with the everyday, the latest information about gear we love, advice to get you into a new activity or take your passion to the next level, and trip reports to help you plan your next adventure.

It's a sunshiny day.

You check the weather forecast and it's sun all day long. You adjust the hook-and-loop straps on the Keen Bali Strap Sandal to get a fit that's just right and head out the door for some sunny day adventures. The EVA midsole absorbs the shock of each step, while the footbed offers you underfoot comfort and support so no matter what you get up to, your feet will be in bliss. Your feet are protected with the covered toe so you can go about your adventures without having to worry about stepping lightly. A Cleansport NXT technology in the shoe naturally controls odors so you have fresh feet all season. However, should you slosh through too many mud puddles or walk along dusty trails, the shoes are machine-washable for easy maintenance.
